Theresa Caputo, the star of TLC’s series Long Island Medium, says she was 28 when she was first introduced to the possibility that she was a medium. It took another five years for her to actually accept her gift.
“There’s a big difference from when I accepted it to who am I?” Caputo told us. She said she struggled with feeling, “I’m no different than anybody else. Why was I chosen to do this? Why is this my journey?”
The aftermath of 9/11 left her with clarity and a feeling of purpose for what she calls her role in the physical world. Now Caputo spends her days and nights taking her clients on an emotional and spiritual journey with the afterlife. She helps people find closure and/or reconnect some with loved ones who have passed.
UPDATE 2/1/2013 – The BEST way to contact Caputo is through her new website: www.theresacaputo.com
Her phone number that was previously listed here is no longer in service, so we removed from the post. When we last talked to Theresa (January 2012), she told us the best way to reach her is via her new website at www.theresacaputo.com. This was an update to what TLC previously provided (Longislandmedium@gmail.com). That email address we have tried and have never gotten a response. Her wait time is over two years at this point, due to the popularity of the show.
Surprisingly, Caputo has built her career on word of mouth only and has done little to no marketing. When asked if she’s ready for what a TV series will bring as far as popularity, Caputo says: “Absolutely not. I still think this is like a school project. It’s so not reality yet for me. My life is overwhelming as it is, as of right now, my waiting list to get an appointment is… I don’t have any availability until January 2013.”

Well i just sent two very long emails to the show pleading for an email or a phone call thinking my situation was maybe a little different then the average person’s but i was slapped in the face with a reality check when i read all these pleas on this website! So I guess i will just face the fact that i will most likely never get real closure! I wish all of you who have posted comments on here and pleas that you all find closure and peace in your searches.. I am amazed at the outpours of people! Wow! Major reality check for me!
Love and peace to all of you and to you also Theresa. You have your work cut our for you, that’s for sure!
Theresa,
Love your show, love your family on the show! If you decide to do tours or classes, please come up to central New York, Syracuse/Utica area, we would love to have you!
Dear Teresa,
I have lost 3 babies before they were born and our first born passed away in my arms when she was just 7 weeks old….I will be waiting for your call and I look forward to a chance to talk to you.
Why would you give her all your information and details if you want her to read you, doesn’t that take away from the excitement of the reading. You guys are nuts. Glad I am on the waiting list already for my reading. 🙂
What is wrong wit u people? This is a story about her not a request lineu morons
You are a Gift from God. Thank you for sharing that wonderful gift.. I sent you an e-mail, and …you might get to it in a year or so, and thats good enough. Anytime, is better than no time. Thanks in advance.
Heather
I have always been a believer but still have alot of unanswered questions. If you answer e-mails I would be truly grateful to hear from you, however long it takes. God Bless You and your family
All my life I have had a type of ‘gift’ of seeing or knowing things about people in present or future, but was also drowned in a type of static that was tough to sift through at times. Since developing migraines, I have had to begin medication that had taken care of the static, and quite a bit of the gift as well, it seems. Bits and pieces are now coming back through without the static, but slowly, not enough for me to have full faith in yet.
Have you heard of this, and if so what is the typical answer? Should I learn a new way to concentrate on what I am hearing?
My son was wounded in Afghanistan in March 2011. This was his second tour. He is a corpsman in the Navy but works with the Marines. He has had nightmares since then due to a friend that died in his arms. My son did everything in his power to help him survive but couldn’t. My son blames himself and feels guilty, Is there a way that you can contact him or call him. I would be most grateful if you can help my son relieve him of the inner pains he has been enduring since last Oct. 2010 when his friend died. Thank you so much. Much aloha, Dee
Hello – I just finished watching you on Joy Behar. I have been struggling since 2004. My husband died suddenly in 2003. My grown son died 6 months later.
I feel as if the life is gone from me. I have been reluctant to go to any type of “seer”. I would be so grateful you could find the time to help me. Susan
Hi there,
I have been watching your show for a while now and have been amazed with the gift you have. I have been having so much questions but seems not having any answers to it. My father died when I was only 9 and remembered him and was too young to understand why he had died. Need to know if you could give me answers and my grandpa had passed away almost 2 years ago, also when he was drunk. Both of my love ones died while they are toxicated. I need to have anwers for the questions that are alway on my mind.
Thank you,
Karen Pikuyak,

I watch your show from time to time, I really do enjoy watching your talent although I find I can’t watch too close to bed time when I work the next day because it makes me wonder if you’d be able to read me if you walked past me on the street and if your reading would be strong enough to actually stop me and say to me what it is the other side is saying to you.
My heart has been forever taken by the spirit world. I wonder if it’s known, I don’t know why this life was taken, I don’t know what happened or if knowledge had been there and just hidden from loved ones.
In 2007 we lost a young man in a bus crash, our daughters boyfriend. He called to say he was going to Fla. With his baseball team for spring break, that he loved her and that was the last time we heard his voice. He was killed in the Bluffton baseball teams bus crash in Atlanta, and our lives have not been the same since…I can tell u I have never met anyone like him before nor since. Never did I see him without a smile or a laugh, his kindness for others was something u just do not see in teens. I sit with his photos surrounding me,as I cry….My daughter left college because she could not stand to drive by and him not be there. Life has gone on, but I just cant stop thinking about him, I have to know he is ok…..I have to know why him???? I have a disease and am in pain, why not me, I would have gladly gone instead, can u please help???? Tell me if he is ok……Please
Theresa, since I was 14 I’ve been hearing whispers. A friend died when I was 13. I’m now 15 and I really want to know if it’s her. It may be my cousin too who died when I was 11 but I’m not sure. It comes in different voices and I’m not sure. It tells me to come join them. Are you able to help me???
Dear Mrs. Caputo, I know you have more than a two year waiting list for private readings, probably more by now, with the sucess of your show, but, I was hoping that you could put me on your calandar. I am hoping you could put my heart, mind and soul to rest for the first time in over 25 years. if not, thanks for reading my message and god bless the work you do for people. You know you save lives too, right?
I was looking to have a group reading for my neighborhood group. We are a group of about 10 moms that get together regularly while our kids play (and the occasional girls night out). We would all love to have you visit and do a group reading for us. Please let me know if something like this is possible. Thanks so much!!
Theresa, I just recently lost my best friend and need help to come to terms with this–please help if you can. You can contact me at the email I have submitted. I live in Florida and if you are ever in the area I would love to come to see you. Or have a private reading by phone or otherwise. I need some “closure”. Watched your show for the first time today and I know that my friend would have beleived in what you do and therefore I want to beleive also. Please contact me if you can. Thank you Sandy
Hi Theresa!! I love your show! Watch it every week. BUt every week it makes me want to schedule a reading with you more and more. I live in NJ. I am 27 and have lost both of my parents to cancer in the past 6 years. Mom died Feb 2005 and Dad died in November 2008. I am the oldest of 3 sisters. Jen is now 22 and Stacy is now 12. We would love to be able to contact our parents through you. Please email me
Hope to hear from you soon!
Michelle
Hello I love the show! I do feel our loved ones are around us and when we need it they remind they are still with us. It may not be everyday, but when we need it the most. Thanks for sharing your gift, hopefully we will cross paths in the future. 🙂
I wish she could come upstate NY to make a group reading, that’ll be great. She’s real and I would trust her. Maybe I could go to see her? I never believed in medium before but for many personal reasons, I need her gift to help me to go on in life.
